Based on this premise, discarding pet feces in the toilet does not expose the family to any greater risk. This happens, above all, because the destination of these wastes is the same: the sewage.
It turns out that the practice observed in everyday life is that almost all people who have pets dispose of their feces in the trash and not in the sewer. This is indeed a great and potential risk to human and animal health.
Let's see what the real risks are in the wrong disposal of our pets' feces.
Scratchs
Throwing the bag of animal poop in the trash is a mistake for several reasons. The first of them is the bad smell it causes, which is very unpleasant. Next, we have the risks of contamination by exposing feces to the open air.
Once not directed to the sewer and exposed to the open air, there is a high level of proliferation of parasites. This is because they lay eggs and they can contaminate animals and people. In addition, workers who deal directly with garbage are even more exposed to contamination because in many cases garbage bags are not appropriate and tear or are open.
Rainwater is also a proliferator of parasites caused by feces. With the current, they end up distributing the eggs elsewhere, further increasing the risk of contamination.
After all, how to dispose of pet feces on the street?
The ideal is to understand that in addition to having to collect your pet's feces, you should take the bag home and dispose of it in the toilet.
If you need to stay away from home for a long period, exceptionally, dispose of it in public trash cans, with the bag duly sealed and never place it on the floor as other animals can tear the bag and facilitate the contamination of the environment.
